PROBLEMA: Food contact surface painting

If the paint of surfaces with a product compliant with the provisions of regulation (EU) N,10/2011 is requested, specifically surfaces that may come into direct contact with aqueous, disinfectant, cleanable (also under pressure) foodstuffs.

The film has a glossy, very hard, insoluble appearance in water, acids, bases, alcohol, chemical solvents, and detergents.

The primary purpose of this enamel is aimed at the vitrification of tanks, tubs, silos, tanks, refrigerated cells made of iron or cement intended to contain food substances, but, thanks to its particular characteristics, it finds wide use in the painting of walls and floors of premises such as chemical laboratories, clinical laboratories where perfect sterility is indispensable, or in premises where easily degradable organic substances such as slaughterhouses, dairies, pasta factories, etc. are processed, where it is necessary to wash with high-pressure water jets and sterilize with steam.

    PREPARATION OF THE SUPPORT AND INSTRUCTIONS ON THE APPLICATION CYCLE:
    Cementitious Substrates: mechanically resistant, perfectly clean, dry, and brushed.
    If smooth, they should be appropriately roughened. In the case of slightly absorbent substrates, dilute
    the first coat with Ethyl Alcohol (5 - 10%) to ensure better adhesion to
    the surface.
    Iron: sandblasting to white metal is essential (Grade S A 2 - S A 2 1/2).
    Other materials: preliminary tests are recommended to verify adhesion.
    Make sure the surface hardness and the possible absence of residual moisture in the support.

    CATALYSIS OF THE PRODUCT:
    Components A and B must be thoroughly mixed before application by pouring component B
    over component A according to the catalysis ratios specified. Be careful to
    catalyze by mixing only the quantity of material compatible with the
    pot life (refer to the technical data sheet).

    Immediately proceed to the application of two or more coats
    with a hard bristle brush, a short pile roller of EPOXY NON-TOXIC
    continuing without interruption until the catalyzed product is exhausted.

    NOTE: Any hardened product in the container is no longer recoverable. Tools and surfaces
    potentially dirtied during application must be cleaned with ethyl alcohol
    before the product hardens.
